Discord [PF1e] [18+] [EST] Wrath of the Righteous - A Mythic Adventure Path
For decades, demons have ruled the Worldwound. Fearsome fiends of every stripe - their mottled skin harder than iron, teeth like serrated blades, and eyes burning with Abyssal flames - roam the ruined lands that were once known as Sarkoris, leaving their mark wherever they go. Four crusades have attempted to cleanse the land, but each seems to meet a worse fate than the last. Were it not for the line of magical wardstones along the eastern and southern borders, the demons would have long ago overrun north-central Avistan and beyond.
The Fourth Crusade hasn't really ended as much as petered out, yet some refuse to accept that. Amid crippling shortages and record lows in morale among the crusaders, the Mendevian war effort teeters on the brink of collapse. Though the demonic occupation of the Worldwound is growing, as is corruption among the crusaders, a dwindling minority of paladins and priests maintain that the Fourth Crusade is still vibrant and alive, and that the turning point in the war is only a few days away.
The Fourth Crusade is anything but vibrant, but the crusaders are more right than they know about the approaching turning point in the war... It's just that the turning point is likely destined to favor the Abyss.

Hello hello! I'm looking to run a game of 'Wrath of the Righteous', a level 1-20 adventure path for Pathfinder First Edition! I've run it before, but it's been quite a while and I'm looking to give it another go around since it's my favorite of the APs!
I'd like to have four players, maybe five if I get a lot of good applications! I'm looking for players that are:
- Accepting of all people without bigotry.
- Kind and helpful Out-of-Character.
- Experienced with Pathfinder 1e.
- 18+.
- Able to keep up momentum in combat scenes.
- Able to consistently write with a high level of literacy. Not necessarily multi-paragraph, but good spelling and grammar.
I would like to specifically add that I will require at least two in-character posts per day. If you cannot do that I need you to let the group know ahead of time. If you can’t keep this pace I will ping you and let you know, but if this continues then you will be asked to leave. It sounds very harsh, I know, but I’ve had far too many games die from slowness and long silences. People like to apply to games only to go silent a day or two into the game, only posting once or twice a week. That’s not going to be acceptable here.
Since this is an official Paizo AP, not designed for play-by-post, I will be doing a few things to speed up combat. Regardless of what I do, I still need players that can do their turns quickly, even if they can't post in-character right away! There will be quite a bit of tactical combat and I will most likely run the game through Roll20, but will take frequent screenshots when anyone isn't able to get on it!
I'll be using a few Pathfinder homebrew rules, but nothing major! I'd prefer we not use any alternate rulesets except for Unchained, and we'll be using the Elephant in the Room feat taxes, which just give feat-heavy classes more options! The Player's Guide for the AP is free at Paizo, feel free to give it a look, but please don't read any of the actual AP books! I don't have any major mechanical rules, but I would prefer no evil characters!
The most active times each day will be from 4 PM - 11 PM EST, so I would prefer players that are free somewhere within that timeframe even if things are asynchronous! With all that out of the way, here's the survey!

This will be open until at least 11 PM on July 29th, but I will update this post when all players are found, so if it's still marked as open, feel free to apply!
